Q: A few month back I collected donations for my daughter's eye treatment. People kept sending money. Only one quarter of the collected amount was spent and the remaining amount is in my bank account. Is this money haraam for me?
A: You should inform the people who donated the money for your daughter's eye treatment that the treatment is over and there is still money remaining. If they give you permission to keep the money, then you may keep it, otherwise, you should return it to the donors.
If it is difficult to ascertain which donor's money it is, then you should return it to the donors who gave the money at the end. In this way, the money of the donors who gave the money in the beginning, will be considered to be used for the treatment.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
